Dr. Kremlin was the most powerful member of the October Guard, with powers similar to Dr. Manhattan's. However, he lacked in intelligence, and was a careless and ineffective fighter, matching Manhattan in strength only. He was thought to have been killed in "Red Star over New York", but he really mistakenly teleported himself inside a block of ice under Adrian Veidt's Karnak. He eventually was thawed out when Ozymandias tried expand his base. He became a recurring villain for Ozymandias and Dr. Manhattan. He was killed when Ozymandias Jr. used an experimental tachyon gun to blow him apart. Because he was stupid, it is unlikely that Dr. Kremlin knew how to reassemble himself, and therefore he has stayed dead.
